The
club was formed in the year 1873 on the joining point of river Adyar and Mambalam channel. This club
aimed to cater the local elites, since during that period Indians are not
allowed in the Madras Club. The Travancore Pavilion was constructed during

pavilion was called as Travancore pavilion with an elephant in the emblem.
